1. He's on a fool's errand. I wish him a humiliating disaster.

2. I have known and met people from coal mining in West VA and many of them or people they know ..

… had been working on turning coal fired electric power plants to using natural gas because
it is cleaner ( still green house gases ), cheaper, and much easier to use, and you get far less
waste products (ash and other byproducts) then with coal. The utility companies have spent
billions on this conversion over the past 20 + years and they are not going back to coal. End of
story.

Trump knows this too.

Btw Columbus Ohio was @ one time the # 1 buggy whip maker in the world.

3. I wonder if the man's feet point backwards?

4. Where you gonna burn all that coal?

A multitude of factories have been refitted for natural gas. There's nuclear energy for some electrical power grids. There's green energy.

The customer that uses more coal than others (I believe) is China. Oh wait! New 100+% tariffs.
